Home > K-12 > Outreach

APEGGA and its members recognize that engineering, science and technology are important to Canada’s future. To succeed in the future and compete in world markets, we need to employ science and technology today and provide an ongoing source of qualified science professionals.

To this end, the Association and its members are working with Alberta universities, industry, government and other science groups to help ensure that the value of science and technology, and the impact of engineering, geology and geophysics on the lives of Albertans, is understood and appreciated.

APEGGA is pleased to announce the new Scientists & Engineers-in-the-Classroom program which is a merger of APEGGA and Alberta Science Literacy Association (ASLA) programs. The new program will be launched in September 2010 in Calgary and Edmonton and improve science outreach to Alberta’s youth. At a future date, the program will be expanded to other areas.

By bringing attention to its professions through a variety of programs and activities, APEGGA encourages and nurtures an interest in engineering, science, math and technology in students and the general public.
